I was told in a FB group, that the GRO shows this: 

BUTLER, ISRAEL mother BELCHER Order
GRO Reference: 1846 J Quarter in WANTAGE UNION Volume 06 Page 274 Order

BULLER, ELIJAH mother BELCHER Order
GRO Reference: 1846 J Quarter in WANTAGE UNION Volume 06 Page 274

So, a typo on the last name!

Thank you to everyone that replied!  I certainly hope he wasn't adopted into the family, as that would certainly make things a bit difficult and it would mean, we aren't Butler's at all! 
I did see in the 1861 census Elizah and Ezra (Elijah and Israel?) are working as ag workers.  There is an Elijah, 25 on a passenger list to MD, USA in 1872.  But, no Israel.  Wonder if this is my Elijah and I'm on the right track, why he would come to the US alone?  Thank you all again so much.

I'm a Butler via my father.  I am female, but, I have done my DNA test. If you are still looking for Butler matches, I certainly am.  I have a brickwall on my 3rd great grandfather who emigrated from England around 1861.  Elijah James Butler b. 1846 England.  I believe he may be David Butler and Elizabeth Belcher's child, but, I have not yet confirmed.

Berkshire Completed Look ups / Re: 1841 and 1851 census lookup. David Butler

Hello.  I am brand new to this site and in fact, only signed up because I saw this thread and am hoping to find more information on my 3rd great grandfather.  I believe he may be the Elijah Butler listed in this thread.  The only hard evidence I have on him comes from a marriage certificate from 1873, in Virginia, has his father listed as David and his birthplace as Upton, Berkshire.  No mother listed.  A 1930 US census has an arrival date as 1861.  I've no idea if he came alone, but, he would have only been about 14 at the time.  Is there any way to verify that David Butler and Elizabeth Belcher are indeed his parents?  I'm having trouble navigating the Free BMD.  Is Elijah listed anywhere after 1861?  Could he have gone to the US with a sibling?  All help is GREATLY appreciated.  This is my father's line.
